Women from the town of Çil axa in the Jazira expressed their rejection of the recent appointments to the Syrian parliament, stating that those appointed do not represent the aspirations of the Syrian people, nor do they reflect the will of the Kurdish people or Syria's other communities.

In this context, Fatima Rostam said that the members of parliament appointed by the interim government do not represent the Syrian people or their aspirations to build a pluralistic and democratic state that guarantees the rights of all communities living together.

She added that parliament is an institution that is supposed to represent the will of Syrians, and therefore its members should be elected by the people. She stressed that the current appointments serve the interests of specific political groups more than they express the will of citizens.

Rostam further emphasized that the current phase requires genuine representatives, especially for the Kurdish people, to guarantee the rights of all communities, prevent the marginalization of any group, and build a new Syria based on justice and equality. She noted that inclusive political participation is the foundation for achieving this goal.

For her part, citizen Atiya Haji said that the recent appointments, including those allocated to represent women, do not reflect the will of the Syrian people, particularly the Kurdish people. She stressed that genuine representation must be based on broad public participation that ensures citizens' voices are fairly represented in legislative institutions.

She added that the Kurdish people are an essential part of Syria's social fabric and have political and constitutional rights that must be represented in any political or constitutional process through a unified Kurdish position. She said that those appointed do not represent the Kurdish people but rather themselves and a segment of supporters of their political currents, without representing the various Kurdish parties and forces in Syria.

She also stressed the need to recognize Syria's ethnic and cultural diversity and to guarantee the political and constitutional rights of all communities without discrimination or marginalization.

Meanwhile, citizen Fatima Turki stated that those appointed to the Syrian parliament do not represent the will of the Syrian people, especially the Kurdish people. She argued that those who previously stood with parties hostile to the Kurdish cause cannot now defend Kurdish rights or represent Kurdish aspirations in parliament.

She added that building a new Syria requires genuine participation by all Syrians and that any political representation not based on free popular elections will not be capable of protecting Syria's diversity or fulfilling citizens' aspirations for justice and equality.

In conclusion, Fatima Turki called for free and fair elections through which Syrians can choose their parliamentary representatives. She emphasized that the new Syrian constitution should be drafted in line with the aspirations of all components of the country and should ensure the establishment of a state founded on justice and equality. She concluded by saying that any representation not based on these principles "does not represent us."
